In this new original series from Somethin' Else, Claudia Winkleman and Professor Tanya Byron identify struggles faced by real-life parents and family members by inviting them in and hearing their story, in a one-time unscripted session with a real person. Claudia listens in to the conversation to discover how Tanya begins to unlock the story behind the issue and help find solutions. 

With topics ranging from parental estrangement, gender identity, domestic violence, trauma, inheriting mental health issues, family dynamics after cancer and raising a severely disabled daughter, How Did We Get Here? is a passionate, insightful and moving experience with clear outcomes to each episode.

This podcast doesn’t tell people how to raise their children, or reconnect with family members, rather it helps people understand why, as perfectly competent adults, they can’t put into practice what they know they should do.

Each episode passes on useful links and contacts which listeners can find in the programme notes.

Claudia Winkleman is a broadcaster who feels like your best friend - whether she's co-hosting Strictly Come Dancing, fronting her Saturday morning BBC Radio 2 show or sending shivers down your spine as the presenter of The Traitors. And now, for our season finale, she joins How to Fail to talk about her hatred of perfect, her distaste for exercise, her introversion and her failure to live in the present. Plus: struggles with sleep, the invaluable lessons her parents' taught her and why Rembrandt (as seen with minus 15 eyesight) might be her forever style icon.



How to Fail is an Elizabeth Day and Sony Music Entertainment Production.

Introducing...The Referral with Dr Karan

Ever wondered why Tony Soprano’s therapist stuck with him? Why Fleabag is obsessed with sex or why Walter White is always in his underpants? ‘Shrink the Box’ is where actor comedian Ben Bailey Smith and psychotherapist Sasha Bates put their favourite fictional characters such as Shiv from Succession, Omar from the Wire and Ross from Friends on the couch to analyse why their behaviour causes them so much drama. Sasha and Ben explore why these characters make certain decisions, what would happen if they made different ones and what we can learn from their mistakes. The perfect combination of psychology, self-help and the best TV since the birth of the box-set.

Introducing… Shrink The Box

We think you’ll love the brand new weekly chat series: ‘Best Friend Energy’ with hosts Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin of The Home Edit.

On ‘Best Friend Energy’ you get to know Clea and Joanna even better than before—you become a part of their inner circle! Their friendship and business began with a single text and now has them organising celebrity homes, traveling the world and laughing every step of the way. You might know them from the hit Netflix series “Get Organized with The Home Edit” but they’ve got a lot more to talk about. They may be professional organisers, but their lives are pretty chaotic. And when life gets too crazy, they have each other to lean on and laugh with. That’s what best friends are for! 



Each week they’ll interview special guests—old friends and new friends—answer YOUR questions, and deep dive on all of the everyday annoyances that life has to offer. Join them every Tuesday as they talk about anything and everything. 



From Sony Music Entertainment, Hello Sunshine, The Home Edit and Somethin' Else, listen and follow Best Friend Energy wherever you get your podcasts.
